Exchange 2013 Server Health
Exchange 2013 Server Health/Component Health Check for Nagios and use with NSClient/NRPE.
In Exchange 2013, Microsoft has in-built monitoring of most of the services and components behind the scenes, and the status of these components and services can be polled using the Get-ServerHealth commandlet.

I have developed a powershell/plugin for Nagios to poll the in-built Exchange 2013 monitoring to return the result.

This plugin can monitor any of the following Exchange 2013 Components:


ActiveSync
ActiveSync.Protocol
ActiveSync.Proxy
AD
Antimalware
AntiSpam
Autodiscover
Autodiscover.Protocol
Autodiscover.Proxy
Classification

Set up your command in NSClient++ like this:

exchange_serverhealth=exchange/exchange-serverhealth.ps1 -HealthSet $ARG1$

And utilise by setting up a service like this (Replace COMPONENTNAME with any of the components above):

define service{
use generic-service
host_name EX2013-TST-SVR1
service_description COMPONENTNAME HealthSet
check_command check_nrpe!exchange_serverhealth!COMPONENTNAME
}

Scripts returns OK although Services are down
byjohannes, November 8, 2017
I wanted to provoke an error by shutting down some services. The script still tells me everything is ok , for example on OWA. 19 checks OK.
Any ideas?
Modification
byMathewthegreat, August 2, 2016
I had to modify line 28 and add '-Identity SERVERNAME' to get it to work for me. There may be an easier way to do this, but this may be of use to someone:
$HealthSetResult = (get-serverhealth -Identity SERVERNAME | Where-Object {$_.HealthSetName -eq $HealthSet})
didnt work for me

Good Plugin with some problems
byGalipoli, March 11, 2016
The plugin is good but has some problems which are easy to fix.

I changed line 42 and 58 to
$desc = "$desc" + $healthCheck.Name +","
Without this i only get the Powershell object in output text.

Changed line 40 to
foreach($healthCheck in DegradedHealthChecks) {
and line 56 to
foreach($healthCheck in $OKHealthChecks) {

to get the correct counting of OK and Degraded Checks.


Very Important with this and all other Checks is that you use the 64bit verion of NSClient. Without you get an error that it cant load the needed Powershell commands.
Took me some time to figure this out ...
Nice Plugin
byshree.srikant, January 7, 2014
To utilise, add the following to your nsclient.ini file:

[/settings/external scripts/wrapped scripts]
exchange_serverhealth=exchange/exchange-serverhealth.ps1 -HealthSet $ARG1$
